20042014 - Holly and the Italians "The Right to Be Italian"

New wave/power pop from Holly Beth Vincent and her backing band with amongst others included Paul Schaffer and Anton Fig. Contains the original version of "Tell That Girl to Shut Up", later recorded by Transvision Vamp, who had a bigger hit with it than the original version ever was. Cute and catchy, but slightly pedestrian. Fans of Blondie, The Motels and the likes should be able to enjoy this, but the band's legacy and Holly's presence on a burgeoning scene is probably more important than the actual songs on this album.
